Tottenham
Tottenham have near enough a fully-fit squad to choose from for this game - a real rarity for Premier League teams this season - with midfielder Giovani Lo Celso their only confirmed absentee.
Mourinho handed Dele Alli a first league start since the opening weekend in Thursday's win at Fulham, while a back-in-form Gareth Bale started for the second game running in all competitions.
Both players will be eager to retain their place in the side against Palace, but Mourinho has the likes of Lucas Moura, Erik Lamela and Steven Bergwijn to call upon in attacking midfield.
Son Heung-min seems certain to start out on the left-hand side, with the South Korean looking to add to his five goals and one assist in this fixture - only against Southampton has he netted more times in the competition.
Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup:
Lloris; Aurier, Sanchez, Alderweireld, Reguilon; Hojbjerg, Ndombele; Bale, Lucas, Son; Kane
Tottenham Hotspur Premier League form: LWLLWW
Tottenham Hotspur form (all competitions): LWLWWW
Crystal Palace
Palace remain without as many as nine first-team players, with midfielder James McCarthy the latest name on the growing injury list after limping off in the draw with Man United.
Of more concern to Hodgson will be the fitness of star man Zaha, who has missed Palace's last five matches but could return to the side on Sunday.
Jairo Riedewald is among those in line for a recall, though Christian Benteke and Jordan Ayew should be given the nod up top once again, even on the back of successive blanks.
Crystal Palace possible starting lineup:
Guaita; Ward, Kouyate, Cahill, Van Aanholt; Townsend, Milivojevic, Riedewald, Eze; Benteke, Ayew
Crystal Palace Premier League form: WLLWDD
Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 Crystal Palace
